Semi Final Weekend
The weekend throws up two terrific quality Semi-final matches
Three men walk into a Pub, A Englishman, Scotsman and Irishman – all the welsh are in New Zealand!!
Saturday – Wales Vs France
On the back of two matches displaying great form, Wales face les bleus of France on Saturday. Against the form predictions, Wales defeated Ireland. Their backline was terrific, seeming to hit perfect form just when it matters! The French completely outclassed England to setup what I believe to be the semifinal Match not to miss. It will be so difficult to predict the winner but this writer favours Wales going by current form
Sunday – New Zealand Vs Australia
The Southern Hemisphere teams came through as expected with the tournament pre-favourites brushing aside the Argentinians. The Australians did not have such an easy time and their Quarter final match against South Africa was extremely close, in many ways, S Africa would have been deserbing winners but at the end of the day it’s the score that counts!
As well as the interview with Chris Evans, Rugby Union Rules and Heineken bring you ‘This Is The Game’ – Interesting discussions amongst seasoned International players about the Rugby World Cup ahead of this weekend’s Semi Finals. Chaired by Will Carling, the chat involves ZinZan Brooke (All BLacks) Scott Quinnell (Wales), Rob Hendon (England) and by Video, Matt Burke (Aus).
